After a strong 2017 with prequel title Yakuza 0 and Yakuza: Kiwami, Sega is continuing Kazuma Kiryu's journey through the Japanese underworld in Yakuza 6: The Song of Life this year. The game picks up some time after the events of Yakuza 5, with Kiryu returning to the Sunflower Orphanage to find Haruka is missing. Naturally, Kiryu takes it upon himself to solve the mystery of her disappearance, which inevitably embroils him in Yakuza politics once again.We recently got to spend some hands-on time with Yakuza 6 and have put together a video of the first 30 minutes of gameplay for you to watch. It must be clarified that this isn't actually the opening of the game, as much of that is spent recounting the events of previous titles and catching players up on the various characters that have been involved in Kiryu's journey so far. This is instead the first significant chunk of gameplay that becomes available to the player.As you'll be able to tell, it's a familiar setup to previous titles … [Read more...] about Yakuza 6 PS4 Gameplay: Fighting Thugs, Trashing Shops, Taking Selfies

Yakuza 6: The Song of Life publisher Sega has pushed back the game’s Western launch to April 17, the company announced today on Twitter. That’s about a month after the game’s originally scheduled release date of March 20, which Sega announced back in August. A representative for the company confirmed to Polygon that, just like the old launch date, the new one applies in both North America and Europe. Yakuza 6, a PlayStation 4 exclusive, debuted in Japan in December 2016. Reached for comment, Sega declined to provide any details on the reasons for the delay; the company described it on Twitter as “a tough business decision we didn’t make lightly.” On the plus side, said Sega, pushing back the game “gives us more time to line things up for launch.” The publisher will release a demo of Yakuza 6 on Feb. 27, and the demo will allow players to carry their progress forward into the full game. Sega’s announcement of the delay on Twitter … [Read more...] about Yakuza 6 delayed to April

A new trailer for Yakuza 6 claims to present the game’s various minigames. Darts, karaoke, exercise, batting practice, etc. But the trailer’s true purpose is thinly concealed. Forget the minigames; Sega wants you to know that Yakuza 6 is a game about the ideal single daddy. Kiryu doesn’t romance the women at hostess bars, he holds engaging conversations. He doesn’t just play baseball, he manages the team (perfect for Little League). He spear-fishes to keep food on the table. He plays ukulele to remind us of life’s effervescence. And he manages a cat cafe, because he’s perfect. Or, purr-fect. On top of all of this, Kiryu raises an adorable little baby. One minor note on that subject: Maybe the minigame for soothing a child shouldn’t be shaking the controller. Yakuza 6: The Song of Life, which debuted in Japan in December 2016, will be released March 20 in North America and Europe on PlayStation 4. … [Read more...] about Yakuza 6 trailer focuses on what fans love most: sweet hot dads
